Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"" "Goshzinsama, Okaelina saimase!

"Golem...... no robot?

"I don't know ~. It seems to be working with magic, so I don't think it's like a" robot "working with pure machines. There is also a species called" Golem "in the world, but if these people are artificial, maybe we should call them" Automata "."

As soon as we entered the mansion of Alfania, which was on the tree, we welcomed the waltzes in the figure of 10 golems and thinkers about 50 cm tall. Its body can be metal, rock or wood...... Different kinds of golems (?) appears to have been there.

Alfania, who had entered the hall earlier, questioned Waltz and Cortex, who had exchanged various speculations when they saw him.

"Are these people unusual?

Waltz replied to the inquiry.

"Right. He said he came inside the elf, but when he walked into the house, he had a golem or something, because he couldn't imagine at all... 'Cause when you say elf, you don't normally imagine" forest, "do you? But when I say golem, doesn't it feel like you live in a mountain or a hole or something? I don't think there's any commonality at all..."

"I see. They don't know what's going on with us."

Alfania nodded somewhere convincingly...... I started talking to the waltzes about why there was a golem in the building.

"Do you know that they are our long-living species?

"Well (with preconceptions)"

"I know ~? I heard about Alfania's age the other day ~. Thank you very much for your patience ~"

"... you don't seem to be being rude. Well, good. If you live this long, you want to do a lot of things, like run a bakery until you're about 100, a blacksmith until you're about 200, and an adventurer until you're about 300."

"You're free..."

"I'm free... but I can't deny it"

"Does that mean these golems were also made by Alfania and elves?

In response to that inquiry, Alfania did not immediately answer it and seems to have given it a little thought. Apparently, I didn't just make it.

"... you're half right. It fits in the sense that it took a long time to create. But it's not exactly the right answer."

"What do you mean?

"Right...... It would be quicker to get a first-hand look at it than to explain."

Having said that, Alfania called toward one golem.

"Pinus. Give me a look."

Then the iron golem, which had the yellow scarf wrapped around his neck, moves. But he (?) The movement was unexpected for the waltzes, when they walked out about three steps ago, where they somehow fell to the floor and suddenly stopped moving. To parable, it's as if it's broken......

But of course, it wasn't suddenly broken. At the next moment, the body of the pinus cracks as if it were a cuckoo, round-cut --,

"... no..." Sori

From that part of the crack came an unfamiliar creature. No, rather, for the waltzes, in a way, a familiar creature (?) Should I say it was?

"" Fairy... "

Yes, it was a little fairy the size of an energy mk2 that came out of the golem. Apparently, the golems at the Alfanian mansion were a fairy ride.

"That's right. Our elves coexist with the fairies who live in this sacred forest. But... Until a long time ago, it wasn't easy for the little fairies of the body to live with us. The fairies' bodies are too fragile. For example... can you see those transparent wings growing on Pinus's back? That thing is so brittle that it just bumps a little and hurts quickly. Besides, it'll take three months to fix it."

"I mean, that golem is armor that protects the fairies' bodies."

"Mm-hmm. This is how you create and give the fairies in your family who live together a little bit so they can get hurt."

"" Hmmm...... "

"... both of you, you're not responding well? For once, I'm not forcing our fairies to do it, am I?

"I guess so... I just know that" fairies "I know are pimpy even when they hit me with a fly, so I'm not convinced right away..."

waltz looking up about the energy you're not supposed to see from inside the room, while saying. Around now, fairies (mk2) may be stealing sisters (mk1) or Victor's appearance and making odd noises.

It should be noted that at that time, Pinus, who heard Waltz's words, appeared to have taken his body by surprise and returned to the body of Sora and Golem...... It will not be necessary to say what she was frightened of.

"... don't talk too much about abusing our fairies"

"What?"

"Come on, this way....... Pinus. I want you to prepare your tea to entertain your guests."

"Wah, wakatter!

The golem (pinus) hurriedly closes the body of the golem and disappears behind the mansion.

It should be noted that Waltz dropped off her hindsight like that --,

"Hmmm... sounds like someone else"

—— and he seemed to have some kind of complicated look on his mouth... It is unclear who she was overlapping Pinus with.
